..among the lightest would be charles/lesnevich, patterson/moore and marciano/moore and charles/marciano I....though i don't know that any of these would be the very lightest.
for years the carnera/uzcudun (sp..first name paulino) was the heaviest combined weight...and if you go by universal recognition i think it still is.
with the mammoths fighting today, one would think the records of carnera (heaviest) and willard (tallest) would be broken by now.....but with so many "titles" and so few complete recognitions they haven't been.

How about Corbett/Fitzsimmons with a combined 351? The two of them barely add up to one Valuev.

I'm pretty certain the lightest would be Tommy Burns-Jack O'Brian with a combined weight of 337. Neither were over 175 lbs . . .

I think we have a winner. According to BoxRec it was 335 1/2
